New Years in Japan

We have 7-10 days to spend after Christmas in Japan and are looking for an easy way to enjoy onsen, with good food, visiting temples , nature, and just relaxing. We have never been to Osaka, Nara or Koya-san and wondered what it would be like to spend new years eve in one of these areas. Ease of access is important since we will not rent a car. Do we have to back track to Osaka to reach Koya-san from Nara ? It is tempting to go back to Kyoto but our time is limited.
Thank you for your help as always.
